Touring Acts: Limited Availability, Serious Impact
Every winter, these artists build their reputation in the Alps, playing high-volume, high-pressure environments where there’s no room to miss.
By the time summer hits, they’re not “up and coming”… they’re fully dialled-in performers, used to 150+ shows a year, adapting to any crowd, any setting, and any brief.
And that’s exactly why they don’t stay available for long.
These are some of our touring acts for summer 2026! But be quick, their dance cards is filling up quickly¬
THE X&Y
A polished, multi-instrumentalist duo with a strong track record across the Alps and international bookings. Their setup is clean, efficient and highly adaptable, making them a go-to for weddings and premium venues that need a duo who know music and watching them preform is a feast for the eyes and ears!
La Fox
Want a duo to rock your event or serenade with a chilled set? These are your guys. La Fox are an experienced duo who will perform throughout the UK for any and every event you could wish for. They’re also dominating the après scene across the Swiss-French ski resorts!
Want wedding day music to remember? Ceremony, Drinks Reception, Wedding Breakfast, Evening Reception can all be catered for by this dynamic duo – with a DJ party set option if you want your party to continue until late
Pattern Pusher
One of the stronger “full impact” acts on the roster, Pattern Pusher are multi-instrumental, high-energy and built for bigger moments. They are consistently booked across France, Switzerland, Italy and the UK, delivering performances that don’t just fill a slot but genuinely define the atmosphere of an event.
BBC Intro’s Sarah Gosling likened them to Jamiroquai, Hot Chip and Bombay Bicycle Club. They have had recent syncs on Comedy Central, Sky and a ‘Young Sheldon’ trailer. They have featured on British Airways in-flight playlists as well as on the official Formula 1 and Liverpool FC Spotify playlists. Pattern Pusher also won the Glastonbury’s ‘Emerging Talent Competition’ judged by Michael Eavis and went on to support Wolf Alice and Supergrass at Pilton.
Superficial Damage
A band offering something slightly different in tone, with a bit more edge and grit while still sitting firmly within that professional, crowd-aware ASB standard. Touring across major European event destinations, they are a strong choice for clients who want to stand out without compromising on quality.
Superficial Damage boasts four of the most talented and fun musicians you’re ever likely to meet! Each member brings a unique flair and exceptional skill, creating a musical synergy that is both captivating and exhilarating. At the heart of the band is their wild, untamed front woman. Her dynamic stage presence and powerful vocals command attention from the moment she steps on stage. She not only delivers stunning vocal performances but also engages the audience with her infectious energy and magnetic personality. Whether it’s classic rock, modern hits, or their own original compositions, their performance is nothing short of spectacular.
Joe Woolf
A versatile solo act with international availability and a solid presence across the Alps circuit, Joe’s strength lies in his adaptability. Whether it’s a relaxed daytime set or a more upbeat evening performance, he knows how to shape the mood and carry it through naturally. Also available as a DJ.
Arkadia (Band)
A flexible band setup delivering a full, polished sound, Arkadia are available across multiple European markets. They are a reliable option for weddings and corporate events where you want the energy of a live band, delivered with the structure, experience and professionalism to match.

Arkadia is clean-cut, well-drilled, and focused on delivering a show that feels real, exciting, and built for the night.
From luxury weddings to high-end hotels, ski resorts and corporate events, Arkadia brings confidence, edge, and a set your guests will actually remember.
Tom Bushin
A consistent solo performer working across France, Switzerland, Italy and the UK, Tom offers a setup that is simple, effective and easy to integrate into any event. His style makes him particularly well suited to summer venues, terraces and daytime bookings where atmosphere is everything.
Freddy Wilkens
Freddy Wilkens is a professional piano vocal entertainer. Performing Après gigs & luxury hotels to weddings & birthday parties, covering a huge variety of popular songs ranging from Jazz, Blues and Boogie Woogie Rock’n’Roll through to present-day Pop & Rock. Freddy is extremely versatile, one night performing a jazz concert to a 2* Michelin restaurant to the next night rocking out in a rowdy Après-Ski bar!
Why This Matters (and Why It Moves Fast)
All of these artists perform across multiple countries throughout the summer, moving between weddings, venues and private events, often with very little downtime in between. Their calendars fill quickly, especially around peak dates, and availability can change week by week rather than month by month.
The Reality: If You Want Them, You Need to Move
This is where Après Ski Bands makes the difference. These aren’t artists you hope will deliver, they are performers who have already proven themselves in some of the busiest and most demanding live environments in Europe.
That means venues benefit from consistency, weddings gain a real sense of atmosphere, and even last-minute bookings still feel considered and well put together rather than rushed.
Planning Ahead or Scrambling Last Minute… We’ve Got You!
Whether you’re locking in your summer programming, finalising a destination wedding, or suddenly realising your event needs music sooner than expected, these are the artists you want in place.
But not later…now.
